When Meadowbrook and Matoaca took the field Friday night, both teams were playing for a shot to remain alive for the state playoffs. It was a game that was circled on the calendar for both opponents, and it didn't disappoint, as the Monarchs defeated the Warriors 42-28 in a barn burner.
Coach Nolan Shigley's Warriors were as hot as the temperatures last Wednesday in capturing the school's first Central District Meet Championship at Battlefield Park. With four Matoaca runners finishing in the top seven, the Warriors were able to edge perennial champion Thomas Dale by 34-43. As expected, Joel Reynolds continued his domination of the Central District by repeating as individual champion.

Diamond led the Vulcans with 10 tackles, including three for losses, in a thrilling 18-15 OT victory over rival Indiana University (PA). The 10-tackle performance ties a career high for Brett matching his output of just a week before. Diamond has led 12th-ranked California to an 8-1 record so far this season. The 230-pound linebacker is a Division II preseason All-America candidate.

The Heart's Message
For centuries the heart has been considered the seat of the soul and emotion. In a way it feels as if the heart creates these feelings or that our emotions somehow arise from the heart. Isn't the heart just a muscle, an organ that moves blood through our bodies?
We know that lifestyle choices contribute to the wellness or disease of our hearts but do our emotions affect the heart?
To get the answers to these and other questions about the heart I went to the source.
An otherwise shy and behind the scenes kind of player I managed to secure an interview with a healthy, midlife, women's heart.
And she'd like your attention!
GAC: Do you feel taken for granted?
HEART: "I know it's easy to take me for granted, that's ok, that's how I like it. The last thing I want to do is interrupt your life with an episode just so I can get a little attention."
GAC: What brings you to this newsletter today, what would you like to say to the readers?
HEART:"First of all I'm excited to have the opportunity to speak to these smart women because midlife is the time in their lives when more than ever they must practice what they've heard about healthy eating, exercise, not smoking etc. I may be a lowly pumping station but I've got needs too.
GAC: Now come on, as a coach, I have to remind you that talking about yourself in that way—'A lowly pumping station', is not very supportive and can even lead to unnecessary stress.
HEART:"You are so right and stress is something we must talk about. I guess I was reflecting the habits of so many women, to devalue themselves—very unhealthy. Let me rephrase; I do recognize my place in the body, I'm a vital organ. Sometimes folks forget just how vital. They put pressure on me by playing the 'no time' card over and over again rather than get to the gym or go for a walk. If I'm not in shape, no one's in shape and the huffing and puffing going up the stairs is like an IM from me asking you for a little help.
GAC: What kind of help?
HEART: "It's a plea. For one person it might be please stop smoking, for someone else it might be drop a few pounds, but for so many it's a plea to stop hurting."
GAC: Hurting like my knees hurt? I've heard that pain increases blood pressure and makes you work harder.
HEART:"Well that's one way I have to work harder and pain management is crucial to my health and our quality of life. But I was referring to heartache brought on by chronic negative situations

(SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain) -- A massive train derailment in northwestern Spain Wednesday evening has left at least 77 people dead and more than 100 injured. A preliminary investigation suggested that excessive speed might have played a role in the crash two miles from the station at Santiago de Compostela, the capital of the region of Galicia, which is near Portugal.
According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, the train was going 110 mph in a stretch where it was only supposed to be traveling 50 mph.
The express train, which was carrying 218 passengers, was not the highest-speed model although it traveled on high-speed tracks.
Witnesses said that between 10 and 13 cars overturned when the train derailed. One car reportedly went as high as 15 feet in the air and was found 45 feet from the track.

I have a tricky situation in terms of installing a vent hood over a 30" Wolf Range. It is possible for me to go up, through the cabinet, and then 90 degrees out the back wall. However, it would be much better if the vent hood could vent from the rear, and then down into my basement, and to the outside wall. I was originally planning on a Wolf hood, but do not feel like spending $2k+. I have seen a few models on eBay, and the Z-Line hoods mentioned here. Does anyone have any recommendations for my venting scenario? An external, or inline fan would also work. |
Follow-Up Postings:
As long as the tortuous basement path is not very restrictive, then an appropriate in-line or external blower should be able to handle it. While hot effluent wants to rise, it cannot compete with the 1000 ft/min velocity that should exist in the ducting. ksa |
I agree with kaseki... a remote blower strong enough with sufficient and proper ducting, won't care if it's pulling air up, down, or sideways |
Are any 30x24x18 pro style hoods available with a remote blower? All I see is Wolf/Viking, which is more than I would like to spend. |
I believe makes one that has many different configurations - http://www.broan.com/products/product/267db124-2f29-4375-8259-a95fa22db67a |
Interesting, that Broan model is priced about right. Is 600CFM enough? What are the pros and cons to an external, in-line, or internal blower? |
I'd say for a 30" range, even a powerful one like Wolf, 600 is fine. In my opinion the only time you may need more than that is if you are doing a HUGE pro style range, and you'd definitely want more than that if you're going to be doing indoor grilling. Otherwise, greater CFM means greater costs, greater noise, greater makeup air, and no benefits. |

Alright, I watched the stinking video (when you Summon Comrade Anklebiter, Dicey the House Goblin "just shows up" to see what's going on) and here's what I'll say: I far prefer "Concernocrat" to "Social Justice Warrior" as a pejorative term for those I disagree with. Beyond that, I have no opinion. Oh wait, I too think that a person has to have done more than play a video game once a week to deserve the classification "Gamer," but that's sample methodology for you.
thejeff wrote: Well, that is why m'lord Dice won't recognize democracy, rather than plutocracy, as the sanctioned system of government within the bounds of Demesne Dice: The lower classes always vote for the wrong people! And until they can learn to vote the right way, that just undermines the whole system.
Andrew R wrote: I couldn't even begin to figure this one out, so I, with my scarred back and urine clogged lungs, repeated the question to m'lord Dice. He said, "My God, Dicey, was that some sort of right-wing, capitalist Zen koan? I may have hope for you yet!"
M'lord Dice said that a system that denies services to those who legitimately require assistance because some cheat the system isn't fulfilling the basic functions of government. He also said that if you think the requirements for, and oversight of, welfare aren't stringent enough, you're actually in favor of bigger government, not lower taxes. Of course, this was while he was forcing my head into a barrel containing the collected contents of every chamber pot in Manse Dice (if you think water-boarding is bad, just try being urine-boarded), after he had pelted me with rotten vegetables and worked me over with a cat-o-nine tails, so I may have misheard him, or simply been delirious.
I don't know about any of that; I'm not political. I do know that Outside of the Inside is m'lord Dice's favorite song ever. When he heard it, the tears ran down his cheeks, and he sobbed, "Finally, somebody gets me!"
Doodles, I didn't even do anything aside keep from myself occupied and go outside when I was told to. All I know is, it was real quiet carriage ride back Manse Dice, and when we got there m'lord Dice said, "Well, Dicey, I may not be able to evict you, but I can do this." He put me in the pillory, had the kitchen staff gather all the rotten vegetables they could find and threw them at me himself, and he's not the type of guy to get his hand dirty unless he's feeling really emotional. When he was done, I saw he had all the hall-boys lining up with the chamber pots, and I yelled, "You can't, in a pre-industrial world like this one, urine's a commodity you can sell to the tannery guild; Think of the money you're losing!" "Oh don't you worry," he said. "I certainly plan to tan one hide today." So if I had to guess, I'd say it was pretty disappointing council meeting.
Comrade Anklebiter wrote: I was going to fling poo at Lord Dice, but instead, I decided to link one of my all-time favorite moral philosophers. You did fling poo, dude, and it splattered all across m'lord Dice's face. I was all like, "M'lord and master, let me get you a napkin." But he said, "Oh Dicey, don't trouble yourself," and he picked me up and wiped his face off with my housecoat before I could actually take the thing off and offer it to him in place of napkin! Doodlebug, you have literally besmirched me!
Scabby the Mite Scab wrote:
Scabby, m'lord Dice would like very much to hire you as . . . wait, you can't carry heavy loads because you've been kneecapped? Well. He'll probably want to hire your relatives, provided they hold your views on unions, so that'll be at least a little money coming into the household. Just, be warned, m'lord Dice takes a dim view of shirkers, so don't let him see you while you can't work. Also, don't hide under the veranda during your convalescence; he knows about the crawlspace, and if thinks you're down there he'll set his dogs on you and you'll just end up back at work all covered in bite marks. Trust me, it's just worth it to go back to work with half healed kneecaps the first time he finds you.
Drejk wrote: We may not have confirmed if he bites, but he slaps you an awful lot if you manage to work your way out of the goblin kennels to a position with the house staff . . . :(
I just got a rainbow wheel (one with NBC peacock-tail wedges; nice!) which lasted so long that I never actually watched the the story, so all I can talk about is the headline. But I agree with that headline. M'lord Dice refuses to even acknowledge the possibility of redistribution of wealth, and while I as a stooge of the plutocracy, certainly can't endorse revolution, I will say this: socialist is no longer such a dirty word. For instance, if I was in the goblin kennels ladling out slops, and I heard two goblins discussing socialism, I would wait to hear what they thought of it, instead of just reporting them right off the bat.

What about pet servants now?
Comrade Anklebiter wrote: Well, I can't read, So I took your note to m'lord Dice, and asked him to read it. He glanced at at, and then he asked me for his reading glasses. I gave them to him, and he read your note. And then he said ,"The line is, How you like me now?" and hit me with his shoe, again and again, and then yet again. And now I'm down in the scullery, scrubbing out pots and pans. I don't even know what I did, but take it from this goblin: Literacy hurts!
meatrace wrote: Not to speak for Doodlebug, but I believe he's pointing out that, by the time you get promoted (through whatever means) to a high income position, your salary still doesn't match your expenses. M'lord Dice complains about this whenever he totals his ledgers. Or, he may be saying that one high-earner can throw off the bell-curve. I've asked m'lord Dice about that, but he just laughs and laughs whenever I raise the subject.
Comrade Anklebiter wrote: So you're just linking nonsense? Exactly what I'd expect from a goblin! *sniff*
Doodlebug, this is entirely the wrong thread for it (there's no right thread goblins such as ourselves), but have you watched I, Claudius? It was produced by the BBC in the mid to late seventies. I only ask because I know you like Rome, the HBO series, and I, Claudius has at least two characters in common. You can probably get some version at your local library, but RI public television has been showing it thursday night at 10. No, it's not ready for prime time; Yes, I watched back when I was pre-pubescent.
Gnomunist Cultural Attaché wrote: That's how I started out, but then m'lord Dice started feeding me his table scraps and letting me sleep on the hearth, and I was all, "Of course I want to be a stooge of the plutocracy, sleeping inside beats the hell out of the goblin-kennels." Both Doodlebug and m'lord Dice want me to redeem myself through labor, but Doodlebug wants to give my earnings to the needy, whereas m'lord Dice gives me sips of his wine when he's feeling jolly. What would you do?
Comrade Anklebiter wrote: One time I was watching m'lord and m'lady Dice play chess, and I said "If there are so many pawns, how did the king get to be the most powerful piece?" M'lord Dice laughed and laughed, until m'lady Dice pointed out that the Queen was the most powerful piece. She started to explain what happens when a pawn reaches the opposite side of the board, but m'lord Dice sent me to get more crackers right then. I never did get an answer to my question. :(
M'lord Dice doesn't truck with any form of entertainment so plebeian as the cinema; I love that junk though, especially the stories where one honorable servant remains faithful to his master.That scene in Dune, where Shadout Mapes is saved by Paul, only be killed later by the same traitor? It probably the most moving thing I've ever watched onscreen. ...What's "reading"?
Don Juan de Doodlebug wrote: As Re goblin mouthiness, defense of co-works and the above: Your greatest strength is your greatest weakness, Doodlebug. They're one thing. Some goblins know how to bow and scrape though. :)
Don Juan de Doodlebug wrote:
That hasn't been my experience; all I have to show from your "smooth and sensitive hands" is bruises. :(
M'Lord Dice explained to me how the International Proletarian Socialist Bosses are, in fact, stooges of the plutocracy... He also went into detail about something Jimmy Carter said about the Cold War increasing the foreign aid budget; I wasn't paying attention, the Pop-Tart in my mouth tasted too good!

I read the directions wrong and added sugar to my wort after I had already boiled it and put in the primary. I did boil a small amt of water added 3 cups as recomended for the Devil Red Ale and stirred briskly. Think I'm ok? I read the directions 3 times after my first mistake and do not see anything about how much corn sugar to add to my batch to prime prior to bottling. Kit makes 13.5 liters. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help
I'm not familiar with particular the brew your making, but 3/4 cup is about the right amount for most 5 gallon (19 litre) recipes. For your 13.5 litre recipe.....3/4*13.5/19= about 1/2 cup.

Top Ten Batman Villains
Batman has supplied us with some of the best comic book villains of all time, pick which one of them is your favorite. Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.The Top Ten
The part played by Heath Ledger was great, sure, but I'd like to point out the voice that made the Joker: Mark Hamill. This man changed his voice drastically for the clown's appearances in Batman: The Animated Series. His voice has made him a comic book legend; I STILL read Batman comics in his demented "Joker Voice". If you haven't heard it, I suggest you play Batman: Arkham Asylum in order to feel the full effect. The Joker is a merciless, psychopathic maniac (who, according to the New 52, had his face cut off, before stealing it from the GCPD and hooking it back on) who will do anything for a laugh- and, more recently, who will do anything to get to the Bat. The Joker is the perfect Batman villain.
Joker has no real superpower, but can anyone to their knees using only some venom, a knife and that creepy smile of his... His insanity combined with his intelligence is a lethal dose!
God bless you Heath Ledger! You Are truly the best joker of all time! No one will ever act the way you acted as the joker!
[Newest]The joker isn't the best villain you no. ?
More comments about Joker
The only one to have broken the batman
Bane was not only extremely strong; he was also very intelligent. He freed all of Batman's villains from prison to cause chaos and, when Batman finished chasing them all down, Bane waited until Batman was at his breaking point to finish him. He broke into the Batcave and became the 1st villain to defeat Batman.
Bane is the most awesome (Black mask close second) and in my opinion the best match for Batman because despite Joker being his polar opposite-Bane broke him. BANE BROKE BATMAN. Also he was trained in fighting by the league of assassins (1995) and is a genius-enough said
[Newest]And now I break your back
Best villain from the DC universe for his psychological torment and the great schizophrenic struggle endured by his own duality and the conundrum of his existence. By far the deepest and best designed villain as well due to the scarred visage playing a dynamic role in his elegant and handsome side being a clever camouflage to his grisly and deadly side. Also, a powerhouse of a character due to the epitome of the madman within, a white knight who turned to a wicked persona worse than those he locked up, and the pure definition of justice with the toss of a coin... Fair, and without a shred of emotion. Best hands down.
I love Two-Face and he is the best villain for Batman because he is somewhat reminiscent to the way Bruce Wayne lost his parents. Harvey Dent used to be a friend and ally to Batman but since that one uneventful day Batman's friend was lost forever only to haunt Batman as one of his greatest foes. No other villain has this much emotional impact on Batman.
Aaron Eckhart stole the spotlight in the dark knight (in my opinion). Even as far as being the last villain against batman in the movie (not the joker). The greatest villain is someone who use to be a hero who has a tragic fate.
"you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. "
"you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. "
[Newest]He is my favorite but Joker is much more popular
How is he not #1?! He is hilarious and has superior intelligence. He still manages to remain not that violent, which I like. He also has a cool presence throughout the book/game - I.E. , question marks written all over the walls on every house in the Arkham City game. He was ruined in Batman Forever; I wish Nolan stuck to using Leo di Caprio as the Riddler in TDKR. Riddler is the most clever and entertaining and he is the best. I hope he gets more recognition and surpasses Joker, Bane, and Scarecrow in the next 10-20 years. He deserves it!
The Riddler is the best villain with his puzzles, traps, riddles and other gadgets. I think he should be in batman 4. He would really bring out the true detective style in batman.
The Riddler is the smartest villain and most clever.
[Newest]I totally think he should be #2 in this list (before Joker)
no one poses a bigger threat to gotham.. he can have the entire city under his control just by being their worst nightmare
To find out more about him, take a look at Arkham Asylum's version of Scarecrow. Really hope he is in Arkham Origins!
Scarecrow needs a staring role in a batman film, sure he was in the recent films but he never played the main villain. He is an original villain and Scarecrows are way more scary than a clown, a burnt man and a man who wears green licra with question marks all over
[Newest]My #1 favorite batman villain
6Ra's al Ghul
Ra's al Ghul is my personal fave rather than the Joker because in Batman Begins, my favorite video from the Dark Knight Trilogy, he teaches Bruce Wayne how to defend himself but later reveals the League of Shadows' plan to destroy Gotham, which it regards as a decadent and corrupt city polluted with crime. At the same time, he tries to clean up the world like Bruce, but via means of sparing the lives of many people. He nearly loses his life near the middle of the video and is saved by Bruce. However he later betrays him when he discloses his involvement with the Scarecrow and Carmine Falcone to use a blue flower hallucinogen in order to vaporize Gotham's water supply. In the climax, Ra's has the best head-on-head battle with Bruce out of the three main villains from the Trilogy, and his death is the most gruesome when he is killed in a train crash that later bombs itself with the device used to vaporize the water supply.
Joker's my favorite, but Ra's al Ghul NEEDS to be higher on the list! Ra's wants to actually protect the world and make it better, which is a goal that Batman shares with him. However, "The Demon's Head's" methods involving wiping out much of humanity. Batman realizes he can accomplish a lot by joining Ra's' but he turns away that opportunity for the greater good. Plus, he's the equal of Batman in physical combat.
Got to know him from the Arkham City video game.. One of the most powerful and strongest persona in the batman universe!
[Newest]You only live... Forever
What happened to Catwoman fans? I remember the time where she was the most popular and influential batman villain. I still think she's the best. Joker is ok but Catwoman is much cooler and not so annoying
Catwoman is my favorite villain. Technically, in the New 52 series she becomes good, but I still think she is an excellent villain. She is the only one who comes close to Batman's heart.
She is awesome she varies from good to evil, beats people up, and is Batman girlfriend. What else is needed for number 1?
8Mr. Freeze
I read Mr. Freezes comics and I watched Batman and Robin with Mr. Freeze in it. I like the way Mr. Freeze looks and talks. I also liked the cartoon sub zero with Mr. Freeze.
Mr Freeze is one of the most brilliant villains I've ever seen. I just wish he got to acheive his Well Intended goal. I always loved his quote, "Think of it, batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd kill for that".
Mr. Freeze can just freeze any other villain and BOOM he wins. So I think he should be number one
[Newest]"Hey, Batman! You know what killed the dinosaurs? The ICE age! "
Arnold Schwarzenegger was the best Mr. Freeze ever!
Arnold Schwarzenegger was the best Mr. Freeze ever!
Clearly the greatest of all Batman villains. He's got class, killer umbrellas, hot girlfriends (impressive when you look like that) and complete control over the Gotham City underworld. He's not insane, psychotic or anything - he's just a criminal, plain & simple. For
That, he deserves the number one spot. Burgess Meredith was great,
Nolan North in the Arkham games is absolutely brilliant (DeVito in
Batman Returns isn't great, but still) and all the T.V. series are
Really good as well. The Penguin, a clear winner.

Never can forget Burgess Meredith's penguin, still the best portrayal and the best villain of the 1960's Batman. Also like the new Penguin in the Arkham games, with the British accent and as the ultimate crime boss.
Awesome because of many, many reasons. But mostly because it's hard to stand out if you're not insane, and to be able to do that's top notch.
[Newest]This guy should be number 2.
10Harley Quinn
Shes the best ever! Should have bought her in a long time ago. Love her cheeky personality and the way she plays dumb. She an awesome fighter and shes just so so funny should be # 1
She hot, Shes creepy, Shes Cool, shes loving, Shes Harley Quinn! Woo-Hoo! She should be number 1!
A sense of humor, a bubbly personality, and to top it off, she's crazy. What is not to love?

11Killer Croc
The monster croc. Should be in top ten in my opinion. Great story, been around for ages, just needs a film.
A sad childhood and powerful abilities, I think Killer Croc is still as good as the other villains in the Batman universe. He's also as strong as Bane and funny in the show.
"I threw A rock at him"
"I threw A rock at him"
Killer croc is a personal favorite of mine and it would be awesome to see him in a future movie, especially if he ha his arkham asylum look
Not really known for being a major batman villain but is stronger, faster and as intelligent as batman himself. Slade is the biggest physical threat to batman on this list without a doubt so should be higher in the list. And he's a BADASS
I know he's not exactly a Batman villain, but he has faced Bats before and kicked his ass a few times as well! Anyone who can kick the ass of the mighty Batman at least deserves an honorable mention.
Slade Wilson is AWESOME! Number 15? No, he should be in at LEAST the Top 5! AT LEAST!
[Newest]Should be in the top 5
13Poison Ivy
She was a doctor in arkham and in an accident, became poison ivy. She can control plants and mind control humans if she kisses them.
Sexy and she is the only one along with clayface to have powers and for all of you idiots who voted for ra al ghul he is not in the same league as her
Y is black mask not here? He ruled over all of gothams underworld for a bit and looks totally cool
14Red Hood
After getting killed by Joker, Jason Todd came back from the dead and become the Red Hood, looking for revenge. He's now also an enemy of Batman.
If he does not make it to top ten, I will cry. 16?! People voted for the joker which I get but what about his creation, the misunderstood Jason Todd Back from the grave to ask batman if he loves him?
Jason is a badass he should be number 1
15Black Mask
Black Mask tortured Catwoman's brother in law to death with construction tools and forced pieces of him down the throat of Catwoman's sister. Even the Joker has never done something so incredibly sadistic.
Cool origin story and even cooler appearance. Plus the whole thing with FORCING CATWOMAN'S SISTER TO CANNIBALIZE ON HER HUSBAND. Joker may be the most infamous villain, but Sionis is just as if not more evil.
He is one of Batman's first DEADLY villain, he also is a rich man that owns a business.
This man is driven by revenge to takedown Bruce Wayne/Batman and will do any possible way to make his life miserable. A good marksman and high intelligence and could be Batman's equal, his darker version like Venom is to Spider-Man
Just a perfect character, could give The Joker a run for his money.
I want him to be in a batman movie! Now!
Love Deadshot! He is highly under-appreciated. I mean who else is that AMAZING with any gun? I like how he is dressed in Arkham City (Video Game). Deadshot (Floyd Wilson is his real name by the way) is just plain cool!
Yep he is #6 in my list. And when I say he, I mean deadshot!
Why all assassins last name Wilson
Being cunning, shape-shifting, terrifying monster who has both wits and brutal strength, Clayface deserves to be among Batman's classic villains. Besides, he was based on the Phantom of the Opera, like the Joker was based on Gwynplaine and Two-Face on Jekyll/Hyde.
Clayface is BY FAR the most tragic character in Batman. Imagine being a giant pile of mud for your whole entire life? That would be far worse than Mr. Freeze because of the fact that Victor could still get someone to love him. Clayface, on the other hand, cannot.
Man-bat is like the opposite of batman and a great villain. He should be higher on the list. I can't wait for a movie.
Man-Bat is Batman, guard city Gotham, in beautiful black costum, big ear, and sign reflector bat-man. Werry good weapons, great fighter and super style.
20Hugo Strange
He should be in the top ten. Being the ultimate enemy who took on Batman's identity once.
21Penny Plunderer
Who the heck is the penny plunderer
23Court of Owls
Secretly running the City of Gotham for centuries from the shadows, the Court are a fantastic addition to the Rogue's Gallery in the New 52. Plus, the crazy assassins that are Talons make them even greater.
An urban legend that even Batman couldn't uncover until they came for him - now that's a villain.
An urban legend that even Batman couldn't uncover until they came for him - now that's a villain.
Nearly killed batman on their first encounter. Best new villains in the new 52 so far
Probably Batman's creepiest adversary so far.
He only appeared in the animated series "The Batman", but as cool and great he was there, he deserves a honorable mention.
Just imagine the batmanized version of a combination between Terminator, Hal9000 and GlaDOS. There it is. The greatest criminal mastermind.
-"Good evening, is The Batman home? "- talking to Alfred in Wayne's mansion.

This guy is a great villain for batman! He is like Electro from the spider man series, but on steroids! Too bad he got ripped off in Batman Arkham Orgins!

52Victor Zsasz
He is really crazy somebody you can be actually scared of in real life and give you nightmares. He's like Batman if he went nuts after his parent's death cause they both lost their parents

Research Summary
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia seen and results in significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, there is tremendous interest in understanding the mechanisms leading to and supporting AF. Clinically, AF starts with ectopic atrial activity originating from the pulmonary veins or the body of the left atrium. Should these atrial beats coincide with a vulnerable atrial substrate able to support multiple wavelet reentry, AF results. While there are currently no good animal models to study ectopic atrial activity, an atrial tachy-paced model is used to study the atrial changes resulting from high frequency electrical activity. While this model recapitulates many of the features of clinical AF, it also has numerous shortcomings. More recently, it has been observed that following congestive heart failure, atrial structures dilate and are thus susceptible to AF initiation. This model is more closely related to human pathophysiology. We are using a rabbit model of myocardial infarction to study the cellular changes induced by pressure overload atrial dilation.

At the cellular level, we are investigating the electrophysiologic alterations underlying abnormal automaticity and triggered activity. Failing cardiac tissues undergo remodeling of their ion handling proteins characterized by up or down regulation of protein expression. In general, these changes tend to amplify subthreshold electrical events into triggered activity. While the mechanisms behind ventricular ectopy have become well characterized, those of the atrium are less well understood. Among the differences between atrial and ventricular cells is the presence of IP3 receptors in atrial tissue. These calcium-releasing receptors are up regulated in failing atrium and may play a role in both triggered activity within the atrial free wall and abnormal automaticity from spontaneously firing cells within the pulmonary veins. Using confocal microscopy and patch clamp techniques, in a collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. William Coetzee and Michael Artman, we simultaneously measure subcellular calcium transients and sarcolemmal membrane currents. Interactions between excitation-contraction mechanisms and IP3 calcium release could form the basis of new atrial specific therapeutic targeting.Research Interests

Is urea a good fertilizer for citrus? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Chicken poop? Last year I put on too much chicken poop, as fertilizer, around my citrus. I remember posting, last year, and complaining, "I have beautiful dark green leaves on each tree, but no flowers on some as I usually get. No fruit on one tree all year long." I do believe that tree had a bit too much nitrogen from the chicken poop, since it has very rarely missed a season of fruit and also... right now that same tree is completely covered in beautiful, fragrant blossoms. |
Probably not. Urea is high in Nitrogen which citrus likes, but it tends to drive the soil PH the wrong way. You are better off with sulfate of ammonia. Still very high in nitrogen, but will tend to acidify the soil. |
- Posted by malcolm_manners 9b C. Fla. (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 06 at 17:56
Urea is commonly used in citrus fertilizers. Citrus, like all other plants, CANNOT absorb or use it, at all, from the soil. Rather, it must be broken down by ammonifying bacteria to become ammonium, and then if your soil pH is high enough, it may further break down to become nitrate, by nitrifying bacteria. At least in Florida soils, urea has little or no effect on soil pH. Because of the need for bacterial break-down, it only becomes available to the plant as a source of N after a period of time -- perhaps weeks, and in the mean time, it is highly water-soluble. So if you get a big rain or over-irrigate, you can wash it deeper than your tree's root system before it has done any good. For that reason, we avoid using it during our rainy season. But in drier weather, it's fine. Urea applications to the foliage ARE directly absorbed, and leaf tissue contains urease, the enzyme that breaks down urea, so that's a quick, reliable way to increase useable N in the tree. One other thing to consider -- urea, especially the cheap stuff, often contains biuret as a contaminant. Citrus trees are more sensitive than most species to this poisonous substance, so if you do use urea, be sure it is a hiqh-quality fertilizer-grade material; NOT cattle feed grade. |
http://www.bio.tamu.edu/USERS/TONNA/CHEMSUM.HTM#BIURET http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/articles/20040225/ScienceFairZone.asp Crop sensitivity to biuret levels in Urea depends upon factors such as plant species, soil properties, method and timing of fertiliser application. Urea used for spraying should have a low biuret content (less than 0.4%), as higher levels cause leaf burn. Biuret is not a problem when urea is applied to the ground. http://www.agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/citrus/h2311.htm |
- Posted by malcolm_manners 9b C. Fla. (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 06 at 21:54
Note that the above article gives maximum biuret percentages for "most crops," whereas citrus is among the very most sensitive of crops to the material. Malcolm |

Rosario Dawson
Every year, amfAR caps off the Cannes International Film Festival with a celebrity-rich Cinema Against AIDS event, and on Thursday (May 22) it seemed like the A-list guests just kept filing in.
Marvelous models like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Bar Refaeli, Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss wore swoon-worthy designer gowns and lit up the arrivals area outside the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc.
His wife Blake Lively has already started making the rounds on the red carpet, but now it's Ryan Reynolds' time to shine at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival .
On Friday (May 16), the "Green Lantern" hunk teamed up with Rosario Dawson for "The Captive" press duties in Nice, France.
He's always up for a great role, no matter the genre, and Ryan Reynolds' new flick "Captives" just dropped a new teaser trailer.
The forthcoming film also features stars like Mireille Enos, Scott Speedman and Rosario Dawson and it's slated to debut at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
Stepping out to pay tribute to one of the classiest office supplies out there, celebrities gathered for the 90th anniversary celebration of the iconic Mont Blanc Meisterstuck ball point pen.
Looking stunning in an all-nude ensemble, Rosario Dawson worked the media line while hamming it up with fellow party-goers including Stephen Baldwin and Unik Ernest.
Continuing promotions for her new film "Cesar Chavez," Rosario Dawson graced the April 2014 issue of Ocean Drive magazine.
The "10 Years" beauty looked gorgeous in designer duds from Yigal Azrouel and M Missoni for the Nigel Parry photo shoot while she opened up about her career and shared details about the bio-pic.
She's never been shy about expressing herself, and on Wednesday (March 27), Rosario Dawson spoke about her experiences at Burning Man on "Conan."
A veteran of the free-spirited festival, the "Sin City" star explained to Conan O'Brien how she's gone nine times and usually does some sort of project during the event.
Shining on the red carpet in Hollywood, Rosario Dawson and America Ferrera attended the premiere of "Cesar Chavez" on Thursday (March 20).
Both babes stunned the crowds, sporting white designer gowns, and flashing gorgeous smiles before making their way inside the event.
Eager to show off their latest work, Rosario Dawson and America Ferrera stepped out for Voto Latino's special screening of "Cesar Chavez" on Tuesday night (March 18) in Washington, DC.
Both actresses looked stunning in black as they took time to pose for pictures together before heading inside for the show.
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, America Ferrera and Rosario Dawson showed up at a screening of "Cesar Chavez" in New York City on Monday night (March 17).
Joined by director/producer Diego Luna, the "Ugly Betty" babe and the "Josie and the Pussycats" dame were both looking fine while hamming it up for the press at the AMC Empire.
Eager to tell the story of one of the most known labor leaders in American history, the stars of "Cesar Chavez" attended the premiere at the 2014 SXSW Music, Film & Interactive festival in Austin, Texas on Monday (March 10).
Smiling brightly on the red carpet was Rosario Dawson in a sleeveless orange and blue patterned dress while America Ferrera chose a strapless blue dress with a matching clutch.

First timer here. :o)
I planted a dill plant a few weeks ago and now half of it's turning red and yellow and somewhat wilted. I suspect it's dying, but, as my thumb is sorta beige and grey, I figured I'd come here and ask some real gardeners. Thanks in advance! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dill colors

- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Sun, May 22, 11 at 17:28
You planted a plant, correct? Not seeds? Dill resents transplanting and will often do poorly upon transplanting. Try direct sowing some seed. It is one of the easiest herbs EVER to grow from seed. FataMorgana |
- Posted by Neuroticats none (My Page) on Sun, May 22, 11 at 18:06
Really? I thought planting seeds was the hardest way to grow something. Maybe I'm thinking of "one of the SLOWEST ways..." Oh well, shows you what I know. Yes, this is a smallish plant that we picked up from a nearby nursery. It was doing so beautifully at first, growing and seemingly hardy, but the last few days it's turned colors. I'm wondering if it's not over-watered. The herb bed gets a couple of minutes of automated sprinkler 3 times a week and sits in 1/2 and 1/2 sun/shade here in Los Angeles. Thanks for your speedy reply! |
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 7:29
Some herbs are hard to grow from seed. Dill is not one of those. If you search through back posts here, you will see that direct sowing seed is the suggested method for growing both dill and cilantro. There may be other issues. I can't say for certain. But I would suspect the lavender and some of the other herbs you have to have overwatering issues before a dill. FataMorgana |
- Posted by EnjoyHerbalGardening 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, May 25, 11 at 9:58
Dill- easier to grow from seeds. Dill plants often go into shock when transplanting. Get some seeds, plant it, watch it grow! Have fun! |

This is an online game that was created by University of Michigan researchers to help students with theacademic task of crafting a bibliography. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, "Students are rewarded for their research skills and their ability to differentiate between good and bad material. To play, they find sources, which are judged by their peers for relevance and credibility, and then measure the worth of sources their classmates find. They gain more points the more sources they assess accurately and the better their own sources are judged.״ One needs to use Firefox and to download the free Zotero.
